10 - 15 minutes.*Pot life dependent on ambient, substrate, and product temperature and the amount of AlphaGuard PUMA Catalyst used.

12 months in unopened containers. Recommended storage conditions are indoors in a ventilated, dry area removed from heat, open flame, ignition sources, and direct sunlight. Storage temperatures should range from 60-70°F (15-21°C) and must not exceed 110°F (43°C).

On the job site, materials should remain on the pallet until use and be stored in a shaded, ventilated area. Materials should be covered with a light-colored, reflective tarp for protection against the elements. Allow for adequate air flow inside the pallets.

Shelf life could be effected if the product is not stored properly.

Preparation: Surface must be clean, dry, solid and free of dirt, grease, oil, algae, and any other debris/contaminants.

Allow new concrete to cure for a minimum of 28 days and until moisture,

LIMITATIONS:

CLEAN UP:

RH, and compressive strength values reach an appropriate level. Concrete surfaces must be shot-blasted to a an ICRI 3-6 surface profile.

Metal must be ground to a clean, bare, bright metal surface.

Repairs: If AlphaGuard PUMA is being installed over an existing roof system, all appropriate repairs should be made prior to applying the AlphaGuard PUMA system. Allow suggested cure time of repairs before application.

Reinforcement:AlphaGuard PUMA Base Coat requires full reinforcement with Permafab (polyester membrane) or AlphaGuard Glass Mat.

Mixing: Use a heavy duty power drill with Jiffy Mixer attachment. Cord-less drills are not recommended and may not properly mix the materials. AlphaGuard PUMA Base Coat must be mixed to achieve a uniform distribution and appearance of the product. Once properly mixed, AlphaGuard PUMA Base Coat can be poured off in smaller quantitiesinto a second container. Add the appropriate amount of AlphaGuard PUMA Catalyst to the selected amount of base coat and mix thoroughlyuntil powder catalyst is completely dissolved. Catalyze only the amount of base coat intended to be used within the expected pot life. The amount of AlphaGuard PUMA Catalyst required is based on the amount of base coat used and the ambient temperature (Refer to the mixing chart for proper mixing ratios.).

Application: Apply AlphaGuard PUMA Base Coat at 2½ gals / 100 sq. ft. (40 wet mils) minimum. Embed reinforcing fabric into wet coating using a brush or roller until free of voids, wrinkles, air pockets, etc. While coating is still wet, apply AlphaGuard PUMA Base Coat over embedded fabric at 2½ gals / 100 sq. ft. (40 wet mils) minimum. Allow to cureprior to applying top coat.

5 gals / 100 sq. ft. (80 mils) in two coats with fabric reinforcement.

• Not for use over expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene, plywood, tongue and groove decks, wood decks, poured in place gypsum, lightweight insulating concrete, lightweight structural concrete, cementitious wood fiber decks, coal tar pitch, gravel surfaced BUR, corrugated metal roof systems, and SPUF roofing substrates.• Do not apply in falling precipitation or when precipitation is imminent.• Only apply when ambient temperature is -20°F - 95°F (-28°C - 35°C).

Clean tools immediately after use with AlphaGuard PUMA Cleaner.
